Welcome to my blog and thanks soso much for spending a little while peeping into my world

... all from my little home studio in Durban, on the east coast of sunny South Africa!

CAS CHALLENGE AT THE OUTLAWZ

Today's CAS challenge at The Outlawz calls for us to make
a CAS project with a fruit theme. It can be the stamp we choose, the
paper, a die cut...or even inspired by a fruit named ink or
cardstock.

Here is my card for that challenge:

I added a rounded rectangle behind the image in MS Word, and layer the image on top of it as I didn't want my image to be 'floating'. The image is coloured using alcohol markers and highlights with a gel pen.

I added some Glossy Accents spots on the flesh of the watermelon to emphasize it's juiciness (my mouth is watering as I type this cos I just LOVE watermelon!) I hope you can see it in this detail pic :

The used a corner punch and layered on a white base card.

Doesn't this card just 'smack' of summer? It makes me wish summer was just around the corner for me here in South Africa - but we have winter to get through yet ... YUK!
